What reading level is The Still Hunter book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Now make a quick run and get on that large rock that juts out some twenty yards below you. And ANOTHER KIND OF OPEN GROUND. 203 don't you leave that rock until you see that deer again, even if you have to sit there some time. If he slips out of the ravine unseen which he cannot do if you keep a good watch from that rock you can track him just as well in four hours as you can now, and you would then have much better chances of finding him dead or lying down and so very sick that he would not ris...e until you got almost upon him. As you jump upon the rock there is, however, an- other crash of brush only twenty yards below; the brown again shows itself for a moment; and it sinks at the first crack of your rifle. On going down to your deer your satisfaction is somewhat marred by finding that your first ball struck the deer high up in the haunch, some two and a half feet from where you aimed. 204 THE STILL-HUNTER. CHAPTER XVIII. THE STILL-HUNTER'S CARDINAL VIRTUE. SPACE forbids the much further continuance of this realistic style of teaching the ways of the woods and hills, as it involves the repetition of too much that is already become familiar from former chapters.
